Chicago, IL Equinox

I signed up for the opening introductory offer of 2 weeks free. You could only sign up one day at a time, which made it difficult to get a slot when you wanted it. The exercise class takes place in one room with treadmills, rowers and a small space for strength training. The orange lighting made it difficult to see things well. I didn't like that half the workout was spent on the treadmill with the instructor telling you when to move in and out of heart zones -honestly I can do that on my own. The second half, you transition from the rower to the floor, which was difficult due to trying to slip out of the shoe guards and trying not to bump into the person next to you. The exercises on the floor were displayed on a large screen and there are just too many people in the class for the instructor to really be able to help you with form. I liked the idea of having your heart zone clearly displayed on the large screens, but that was pretty much all I liked. For the monthly price, I would rather join a high end gym and get much more fitness options. Or buy a Garmin and monitor your heart zones.

I love it! My son has been participating in floor hockey for over 3 years now and he loves it! He was never lonely and made friends instantly. Everyone in the center have at least one thing in common -- they all want to play sports. Everyone has fun all the time. It is nice how everyone unites here for all of the sports offered. This sports center encouraged my son to become a better hockey player. He would go to the basement or to the alley and practice with his cousins. I have never seen him more happy and enlightened by sports until I signed him up to MASC. Mike Amundsen and all of the other coaches are really funny and fun to talk to. They know what they are doing. Yes, they fool around, but they know how to be coaches. Who wants boring coaches? My son participated in the summer camp MASC has to offer and he loves it! All of the counselors are kind and know how to handle things. This is a 5-star sports center! I highly recommend this camp for everyone.

The overall appearance outside and inside is fairly clean. Tho I'm a stickler for a tidy bathroom their showers could be more clean.The staff are friendly,the atmosphere is very laid back where trainers aren't in your grill and you can do your own thing. The staff do keep it clean walk around sweep and wiping down and moping.although I've personally seen one member walk away from the equipment without wiping it down first:So just Be sure to clean before and after just to be on the safe side because you never can tell.���� Overall it's good always room for improvement.���� so I'll give them a 3.5

This is not your average gym, the trainers are awesome. I have been workn out at the boot camp four days a week, for about 8 weeks now. We haven't done the same routine yet. Always challenging , but yet fun also. A very friendly family like supportive environment . Results are visable around the room. I strongly recommend checking it out . Whether your trying to loose weight, tone or just improve your cardio. Check it out !

Gosh; it ain't Disney Land, but I've got no place else to go! You never turn down good help, and especially when it's right there at your front door. The best utilization of available resources is the best method of viewing it from both sides of a 2-way mirror. I don't know about anybody else, but I am late for a visit to L.A. fitness. Capital idea, if I do say so myself. Cheerio

Great new location for all your fitness and martial arts needs. I have been training with these instructors for 2+ years and I cannot praise them enough! Learning Krav Maga has given me a sense of empowerment I haven't previously encountered. It is a great addition to your workout regimen.

The club manager Meredith is very, very stuck up. She hardly speaks to anyone and I've seen her be rude to those who work there. If she can't bring herself to smile and speak the clients then I feel bad for the workers. Borders on abusive but we aren't suppose to see it.

When I first walked in I could feel like I was joining a family. After my whole family decided to join the instructor Master Weiss said welcome to the journey. We have enjoyed everything the school has to offer. Mindy

It's a good feeling to have found people who share the same philosophy with me when it comes to health and fitness. I thank this fitness center for giving me a second home when it comes to health and fitness needs.

I FOUND THE SERVICE TO BE GREAT. I HAD A MASSAGE AND MANICURE. BOTH TECHNICIANS WERE THOUGHTFUL AND RESPECTFUL. I HAVE PURCHASED GIFTS CERTIFICATES FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THEY WERE PLEASED WITH THE SERVICES.
